Saturday at 5:34 pm, the temperature in Blacksburg was at 29 degrees, marking the second-coldest game under head coach Frank Beamer.

When it’s 40 degrees or colder, Tech is 9-4 and when it’s 32 degrees or colder, Tech is 3-1.

With one week left in the regular season, the tiebreakers for the ACC Championship football game became a lot clearer after Saturday's games.

In the Coastal Division, if the Hokies beat Virginia Saturday, they represent the division for the third time in four years. If they lose to the Cavs, Georgia Tech is the representative. Georgia Tech is done at 5-3 and has Georgia Saturday.

In the Atlantic Division, Florida State is in the clubhouse at 5-3 after beating Maryland last night with only a non-conference game against Florida left. If Boston College beats Maryland at home Saturday, the Eagles will again represent the division. If Maryland wins, the Seminoles will head to Tampa.

For what was extremely complicated just days ago, is now quite simple.

Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer, along with every other head coach in the nation, is in the running for 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award.

It's the ultimate recognition of achievement, dedication and responsibility in coaching college football. It's awarded to one coach in each of the four NCAA Divisions - DI, DIAA, DII, and DIII - who demonstrates the utmost integrity on and off the field. And it's up to you, the fans, to decide who deserves it most. Vote once a day for the coach who inspires his team, his fans, and his community.

From now until December 6th, fans can vote online at www.coachoftheyear.com for any head coach they believe is most deserving. After the initial nomination period, the top 25 coaches in each division with the most fan votes will qualify as semifinalists, at which point they will be scored using a model approved by the College Football Hall of Fame, including such criteria as coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, academic excellence and community commitment.

The scoring will identify the top 10 coaches in the Football Bowl Subdivision, all of whom will be named finalists on Dec. 11th. From then until Dec. 22nd, fans can vote again at www.coachoftheyear.com for who they believe should win. The fan vote will carry 20 percent of the final tally, while media will account for 25 percent and a College Football Hall of Fame committee will take care of the remaining 55 percent.

The winners will be announced on Jan. 31st. Each winning coach will receive a $50,000 to donate to one or more charitable organizations of his choice and a $20,000 grant to donate to his school's alumni association to enhance student scholarships and activities.

Former Virginia Tech golfer Brendon de Jonge has earned his PGA Tour Card for the 2009 season, following his second place finish on the Nationwide Tour’s money list this year.

De Jonge, a 2003 graduate, played on the PGA Tour in 2007 before returning to the Nationwide Tour this season. He won his first career Nationwide event in August, with his victory at the Xerox Classic at the Irondequoit Country Club in Rochester, N.Y.

He entered this past weekend’s Nationwide Tour Championship at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas leading the money list and finished tied for 11th in the season-ending event. Matt Bettancourt won the event with a birdie on the 18th hole and claimed the money title for the tour. Bettancourt finished $10,828 ahead of de Jonge, who had held the spot after the last seven tournaments.

Following play on Sunday, fans were invited to join Nationwide representatives and Salesmanship Club and TPC Craig Ranch members to meet "The 25" at the PGA TOUR Card ceremony. The top 25 on the money list all earned their PGA Cards for next season.

The "PGA TOUR Card Ceremony" special will air on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. on Golf Channel as part of the final "Quest For The Card: Inside the Nationwide Tour" episode of 2008.

The Nationwide Tour Championship at TPC Craig Ranch featured the top-60 money winners through the Tour's last full-field event of the year, the recent Miccosukee Championship in Miami.

De Jonge now joined former teammate Johnson Wagner of the PGA Tour in 2009. Wagner earned a two-year exemption with his win at the Shell Houston Open in April.

Former Virginia Tech standout Coleman Collins was the sixth player selected in the 2008 NBA Development League Draft Friday night. Collins was selected by the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

Collins played in Germany last season after completing his Hokie career in 2007. He helped lead Virginia Tech to the 2007 NCAA Tournament, including a first round win over Illinois in Columbus, Ohio. Collins played for the Toronto Raptors' Summer League team in 2008 and was signed earlier this year by the Phoenix Suns, before being released during training camp.

Collins is currently 32^nd in career scoring at Virginia Tech, with 1,144 points. He is also 10^th in all-time blocked shots for the Hokies, with 106.

Also selected by the Mad Ants were former Pittsburgh player Toree Morris and Shawn Hawkins, formerly of Long Beach State. Collins was the one of four former ACC players to be drafted in the first six picks of the draft. Former Clemson standout James Mays was the second selection by the Colorado 14ers.

The NBA Development League is the top minor league in professional basketball and each team is affiliated with NBA teams. The Fort Wayne Mad Ants are affiliated with the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.

The Mad Ants begin their 2008-09 season on Nov. 28 at home against expansion Erie Bayhawks.

Over the past few years, the Virginia Tech athletics department has successfully implemented the ‘Hokies Respect’ campaign, an initiative designed to encourage good sportsmanship among Tech athletes, fans and opponents.

The campaign has put Virginia Tech at the forefront of sportsmanship in collegiate athletics, and the Hokies were even named the ACC’s Sportsmanship School of the Year in 2007-08. But this year, those involved has decided to take it even further.

Earlier this fall, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), in conjunction with the Athletics Office of Student Life, came up with a way to further promote Hokies Respect throughout the community. Senior administrators from Tech athletics approved the idea, and over 600 Hokies Respect t-shirts were distributed to student-athletes and support groups in early October. Those with the shirts have been encouraged to wear them the day before each home football game to remind all fans to be on good behavior.

This Thursday, though, Tech plays in the national spotlight on ESPN against Maryland, and Tech officials are hoping that the t-shirts will be worn around the community throughout the day on Thursday so that Hokie fans will remember to display their excellent sportsmanship to the national television audience.

“Having over 600 student-athletes and support groups wear this shirt across campus will display our thanks to each of them and indicate to the rest of campus our collective support of Hokies Respect,” Tech AD Jim Weaver said of the initiative.

The picture above shows the t-shirts worn by SAAC members (left to right) Brittany Pryor (women’s track and field), Claire Dickey (women’s swimming), Jordan Hall (athletic training), Steve Bumbry (baseball), Terrance Vinson (men’s basketball), Tasmin Fanning (women’s cross country) and Tim Miller (wrestling).

Tech head coach Frank Beamer told the media Tuesday at his weekly news conference that he called former Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer yesterday and left a message, offering his regrets at Fulmer’s ouster as the head coach. Fulmer agreed to step down as Tennessee’s head coach following the season. A Tennessee graduate, he coached at his alma mater 17 seasons and led the Volunteers to the national championship in 1998.
